In news that should surprise no one, BTS sold out all of their North American and European dates for their upcoming stadium tour, Love Yourself: Speak Yourself.

The tickets went on sale on the morning of March 1, and the online stampede to the Ticketmaster queue was swift. The ticketing site even trended worldwide on Twitter.

The five tour dates span Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, Soldier Field in Chicago, Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, Wembley Stadium in London and Stade de France in Paris.

According to Metro UK, Wembley Stadium’s 90,000 seats sold out in 90 minutes. Turns out the demand for tickets in London was so high, Wembley added another date for June 2. Tickets for the additional date can be purchased via Ticketmaster on March 8.

“The BTS Army has showed up in force for today’s onsale. We have already seen incredibly high demand with hundreds of thousands of fans queuing to purchase tickets for two of the band’s three shows,” a Ticketmaster rep told Billboard. “This speaks to BTS' far-reaching appeal and the dedication of their amazing fans around the world. We apologize for any inconvenience fans may have encountered in the shopping experience. There are not enough tickets to satisfy the massive demand for this artist’s live shows.”

The only reason why we’re not hearing about their Brazil or Japan dates is because those tickets haven’t gone on sale yet. The official site for the world tour says there are “more dates to come.”

Before this world tour kicks off, BTS will wrap up their BTS World Tour: Love Yourself in April.

Update: BTS also added second shows to their stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey and Paris.
